September 2018 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion

Still trying to get caught up in here. Geesh.
Congrats on the weight loss, Randy! Keep up the great work!

 

SOTD SEptember 5th


Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Schick Folded Sheet Metal Injector Prototype
Personna
Maseto Shaving Classic (30mm Finest Fan, Cruiser Class)
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill PSB

Declan was up this morning about an hour before I normally get up, so not seeing the point of going back to bed for half an hour at best I decided to take my time a have a nice relaxing shower and shave. Not wanting a repeat performance of a shaving with a blade that is past its prime I loaded a new Personna blade into the FSM prototype. And since Joseph @Primotenore called me out on the "pics or it didn't happen" concerning almost using up the Jeeves Bay Rum I was sure to show how much soap was remaining in my SOTD pic. I heavily loaded the big Maseto finest badger brush and proceeded to make a creamy, shiny, hot lather in my Crown King scuttle. I took my time with the shave and enjoyed the wonderful scent and warmth from the Jeeves lather. Did a full modified(WTG, ATG, XTG) three pass shave and brought home the baby. I finished with a dollop of the Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill PSB for some nice face freezing lemony goodness! Have a great day my friends!

 

Thanks, Clint!

Thank you, Clint!

Thank you, Andrew!

 

Terrific post, Andrew! That injector is really neat.

 

Thank you Perry! The cool factor demanded that this razor be showcased in SEptember!

 

I had to read your post twice. Folded Sheet Metal. I was concerned you had been touched by his noodly appendage.

 

I take it that's a good thing ?

 

September Focus

MWF (Cavendish)~~Mondial~~Gillette~~Perma-Sharp (1)~~B&M
B&M Cool is my Focus "Ingredient" today.
Later, I will compare Floïd Blue with B&M Cool.
I am happy to be using MWF again. There's so much to love about this soap.
I can't recommend it enough for every shaver to at least try.
Light blooming of the soap was all it needed to give up a knot-full of soap.
The Mondial 26mm Boar is a star in its own right. This knot is incredible.
Halfway through the second pass, I had to ditch the Gillette Blue Blade.
You have heard of "The Spoiler"? I have dubbed Gillette Blue Blades: "The Tugger".
Crappy blade. Period.
Popped in a Perma-Sharp for a blissful third and final pass. The P-S saved the shave.
As usual, wonderful post-shave suppleness.
And to think, I used to blame lanolin for irritation...
Floïd Blue vs. B&M Cool

Try as I might, I could not discern a great difference between the two products.
It "seemed" that the Floïd had brighter top notes, but after drying down,
they are very much the same. ​

 

Excellent photo, Joseph! Interesting to hear the the Floid Blue and the Reserve cool are very close!

 

Thank you Andrew.

Thanks Clint!

 

I make it a point not to argue faith or religion with true believers. FSM, the Flying Spaghetti Monster and The Church are an active, but somewhat silly organization. You can further educate yourself HERE. I suspect we may have closet members in The 30 DC.
